One of my favorite things is making traditions with my family. Every Sunday my kids love to get lots of books and then we all pile in my bed to read them. We are big readers and have bookshelves full of children's books. Some of our favorites are from Dr. Seuss. My kids love "Green Eggs and Ham," "The Cat in the Hat," "There's a Wocket in my Pocket," and "Fox in Socks," just to name a few. Every … [Read more...]

On Adventurous Toddlers And Stride Rite Shoes
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Stride Rite for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. One of the most nerve wracking and exciting things about having a child is watching them grow up. On minute they are safely tiny and adorable like this. Then you blink and they've morphed into a toddler who sees nothing but adventure and danger everywhere she looks. At 21 months, Lola … [Read more...]
